Congressman Hunter, do you believe that the “Road Map” for peace in Israel can be salvaged as the State Department is currently trying to do it?
And should our Government have called for Israeli restraint (as it did) in the recent conflict with Lebanon?
Here are some links to background information.

Family, I think we can only ask that another country do something, and hope for the best. Pertaining to Lebanon, we should have told them to keep their head down, and nothing else. Lebanon can directly threaten Israel’s existance, and as such they should not hold back anything in dealing with them. It would also serve as an example to other Middle Eastern countries threatening their existance.
